Pansy

Pansies are one of the earliest flowering plants, blooming right alongside your spring bulbs. These members of the violet family herald in the new garden season, with a wide variety of bright, brilliant colors.

LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS: USDA hardiness zones: 4 through 8 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS WATER: Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week.

FERTILIZER: Add a general purpose fertilizer when planting them, then once a month.

FLOWERING: Pansy flowers include almost all colors of the rainbow including black, and many bi-colors.

SOIL: Use well drained soil.

DISEASE: Pansies seldom have problems with insects and disease. If insect or disease problems occur, treat early with organic or chemical insect repellents and fungicide.
